Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/www.sidefx.com/includes/mambo.php on line 349

any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello!

I have Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 and I tryed to download Houdini 8.0.317 for win32 and all went fine.

1) Check if you are logged on to sidefx.com when you try to download Houdini
2) Try using Internet Explorer or other browser, maybe this is causing the problem

That problem is related to cookies(it's thought) - to solve it, log into the forum first, then go to the download page. Going directly to the download page in the start of a session seems to trigger this problem. Firefox will work fine, no need for IE(ugh! ).

Cheers,

J.C.

I finally downloaded the files, but it took many attempts and was continually bounced back to login, I went through the forum as was suggested (note I just had trouble logging in now). I feeling is it is the f**~@#^$%&#% proxy at work here (large educational institutes and lumbering poorly managed networks).
Sorry for the trouble, I got it finally and yah.

Thanks and Bye

you may find you have a lot of network restrictions because there are too many students some of whom are extremely intelligent (and lets face it they are students, so time on their hands ) trying to “hax0r their gradez!!!!11” or cause a bit of mischief. not necessarily bureaucracy
